7 All the brothers of the poor hate him;how much more do his friends go far from him!He pursues them with words,yet they abandon him.
8 He who gets wisdom loves his own soul;he who keeps understanding will find good.
9 A false witness will not be unpunished,and he who speaks lies will perish.
10 Delight is not seemly for a fool,much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
11 The discretion of a man defers his anger,and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.
12 The king’s wrath is as the roaring of a lion,but his favor is as dew upon the grass.
13 A foolish son is the calamity of his father,and the contentions of a wife are a continual dripping of water.
